The purpose of this study was to compare demographic profile and divalent metal Ions in Tuberculosis and Non-Tuberculosis individuals. \u0000Methodology: This case control study was carried out on 345 subjects. Patients were grouped into two categories i.e. Pulmonary Tuberculosis (cases group) with 115 patients and without Pulmonary Tuberculosis (control group) with 230 subjects. Demographic and dietary profile was recorded through already designed proforma. 4 to 5 ml sterile gel tube was used to collect blood samples. The samples, which were then centrifuged, and the serum were examined to check the levels of iron and copper. Data was evaluated using SPSS version 25. \u0000Results: Male patients are more likely to have TB in comparison of female patient. In comparison of patient with normal serum copper, patient with serum copper below normal are less likely for TB and patient with serum copper above normal are more likely to develop TB. Patient with serum iron below normal are also more likely to develop TB in comparison of patients with normal serum iron. \u0000Conclusion: Male patients in productive age groups were commonly affected with tuberculosis. In Tuberculosis patients, we found low serum iron concentrations along with significantly high concentration of serum of copper when compared to healthy controls. Subsequently, low iron concentrations synergistically with increased serum copper levels may increase the human susceptibility to the infection of mycobacterium tuberculosis \u0000Keywords: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Iron, Copper ,BMI,  Nutritional status.","PeriodicalId":53838,"journal":{"name":"Annals Abbasi Shaheed Hospital & Karachi Medical & Dental College","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77111099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to compare outcomes of simple intranasal polypectomy versus Endoscopic sinus surgery after removing nasal polyps. \u0000Methodology: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of ENT in Civil Hospital, Hyderabad from April 2020 to June 2020. After ethical approval, 60 adult patients of either gender ranging from 14 to 40 years, with Sino nasal Polyposis were randomly selected. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 17.

In contrast, bleeding 10%, crusting 16.7% with orbital swelling 3.3% was reported up to 2 weeks following surgery. Synechiae formation 16.7% up to 3 months was observed following Endoscopic sinus surgery. \u0000Conclusion: Post-operative complications of endoscopic sinus surgery have been quite lesser as compared to simple nasal polypectomy along with low recurrence rate.
